Answer: Theoretical yield is 313.6 g and the percent yield is, 91.8%
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
According to stoichiometry :
1 mole of require 3 moles of
Thus 2.8 moles of will require=
of
Thus is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and
is the excess reagent.
As 1 mole of give = 2 moles of
Thus 2.8 moles of give =
of
Mass of
Theoretical yield of liquid iron = 313.6 g
Experimental yield = 288 g
Now we have to calculate the percent yield
Therefore, the percent yield is, 91.8%
